We have to admit that BYD has been entering the new energy vehicle market for a long time, and has also created many models with excellent product power, and many consumers will inevitably give priority to BYD models when choosing new energy vehicles. However, now the development of the new energy vehicle market is getting faster and faster, and the new energy vehicle market has many models with excellent product power, which has also begun to affect the position of BYD models in the market segment, such as the 100,000-level car market, BYD Qin plus DM-i is currently under great pressure, and the plug-in hybrid family car Wuling Starlight is coming, and the product power is also excellent.
Wuling Starlight will only be officially launched in December 2023, but it has sold a total of 31,037 units since its listing, becoming the top 2 in the plug-in hybrid car market with less than 150,000 sales, which is still relatively popular. And on February 19, the 150 advanced version of the Wuling Starlight car series also ushered in the glory price, only 9980,000 can be started, compared with the original price, the adjusted glory price is equivalent to a profit for users 060 thousand.
Another point to note is that we all know that Wuling cars often fit the actual needs of users, so this Wuling Starlight price adjustment is also decided by Wuling taking into account the actual needs of users. At present, 83% of the sales of Wuling Starlight come from the 150 advanced version, consumers are generally willing to choose high configuration, and the entry version of the Wuling Starlight 70 standard version is priced at 8880,000 can be regarded as close to the people.
After this price adjustment, the competitiveness of Wuling Starlight in the same class of cars has been further improved. You must know that the newly launched BYD Qin PLUD DM-i Glory Edition, the model with a pure electric range of 120km in the car series also has 10Starting at 580,000, it is more expensive than the Wuling Starlight 150 advanced version after the price adjustment, and the pure electric range is 30km shorter.
Don't think that the pure electric range of 30km is very short, this battery life is enough for the owner to commute pure electric for 1 day, which can effectively reduce the charging frequency in the usual car, so that the owner does not need to go to the charging station frequently during the use of the car.
The longer pure electric mileage can also improve the comprehensive mileage of the vehicle, Wuling Starlight can drive continuously for more than 1000km under full fuel and full charge, and can realize one-way driving from Tianjin to Nanjing without refueling or charging. Such a comprehensive range performance is not bad in the same class of models, and it is not lost to the BYD Qin PLUS DM-i. And under the condition of power loss, the fuel consumption performance of Wuling Xingguang is also lower than that of BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, and the fuel consumption of the 70 standard version is 398L 100km, 150 advanced version of the fuel consumption of 409L 100km, while the BYD Qin PLUS DM-i has a fuel consumption of 46l/100km。
In addition to showing highlights in terms of battery life, Wuling Starlight also performs well in the same class of cars. In terms of cockpit intelligence, Wuling Starlight is equipped with a size of 156-inch large central control screen, the Ling OS system equipped inside supports voice control of the car, visible and talkable functions, and many third-party apps. Price 10580,000 BYD Qin PLUS DM-i Glory Edition 120km leading central control screen 101 inch, even if it's 11580,000 and 12The two high-end models of 580,000 are only equipped with 12The 8-inch central control screen is slightly smaller than the screen of Wuling Starlight.
In terms of chassis structure, Wuling Xingguang does not use the same rear torsion beam non-independent suspension as BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, but adopts a rear E-type multi-link independent suspension similar to Audi A3 and Volkswagen Passat, and forms a four-wheel independent suspension structure with a front MacPherson independent suspension. This also allows Wuling Starlight to have better chassis vibration filtration performance when passing through potholes and rural dirt roads, and the stability and handling of the vehicle at high speed are also close to the level of 200,000-level joint venture sedans.
Speaking of space, Wuling Starlight has a car length of 4835mm and a wheelbase of 2800mm, which is also a leapfrog level in the 100,000-level family car, and the car length and wheelbase of BYD Qin PLUS DM-i are 4765mm and 2718mm respectively, that is to say, the cockpit space of Wuling Starlight is very large.
Therefore, the comprehensive cost performance of Wuling Starlight is relatively high among the 100,000-level family cars, which can indeed bring a lot of pressure to BYD Qin PLUS DM-i.
